To my friend: stop going to casinos.

[Rob.Singer]

Just some logical points:

1) Won/loss statements don't prove or disprove Rob's systems. Somebody, somewhere in this vast universe has won as much or more than Rob with the same or less play. Pulling their won/loss statements doesn't validate or invalidate any strategy they used. That's pretty obvious.

2) The proof lies in the proofs, as Arci would say. Now perhaps Rob has discovered heretofore unknown laws of mathematics. I do not know, as I am not a mathematician, although I do know a handful of people who teach college mathematics. Now, Alan could simply consult professional mathematicians and report their opinions, but he has not done so, for whatever reasons. Maybe he feels silly doing so. I don't know. Logic and math should pre-empt won-loss statements, but some folks have a hard time subordinating their opinions to logic and math.

3) Did those Gaming Today articles by Rob ever make the light of day? I pick up copies whenever I'm in LV, but haven't spied one yet. I do need to drop by the GT offices in July to get the lowdown on that stuff.

I agree with #1. And since IRS policies (can we really believe in or trust anything they say or do anymore?) tell auditors to ignore those silly casino statements for obvious reasons, so shouldn't we all.

There's a continuing assumption that I have somehow circumnavigated the math books with my ability to win, and as a rule, that does not seem ignorable. What the community of geniuses cannot appear to digest, is that there is a certain probable positive outcome awaiting for those who understand that it is entirely possible to manipulate the machines to cough up unintended wins via the special plays, and/or to bump up the damage to the machine by strategically bumping up denomination and volatility. And while expectation counts on staying at that high denomination to "give it all back and more" ("MORE", because geniuses believe "-EV" games HAVE to keep more cash than they give) the casinos get totally blindsided by my going back to play my lowest denomination every single time a win goal (or even a loss goal for that matter) is met. To make it easy red, while the "AP's" of the vp world expect machines to keep on performing up to their "expectations" while it's "all the others" who supposedly keep filling them up for AP-taking....so it is with how I play. My play only hits up the machines for a very tiny portion of their life. So I too "expect" and count on all the other playing slobs to keep the machines in a taking mood until I return. It's a very simple, AP-like process.

GT articles: Best you stop by the offices and ask. I'm certainly nowhere the magazine comes out. Perhaps VL or Spock can get to it before you can? Aren't they as much a part of the LV scene as Nick Cage?
